How To....

At 4th Street Fine Art we teach a variety of classes by our member artists and guest artist from afar. Our current classes are shoe making, porcelain painting, watercolors, and oil painting by accomplished teachers. In the future, we are considering expanding classes to Art Marketing and Live Model Drawing as interest develops.
